Chapter 2032: Counterattack
In a pitch-black stretch of starry sky, a Star Domain Treasure Ship gleaming with golden light sped across the heavens.
Shi Yue, Ximen Ren, Situ Yue, and Yang Xiaoyao stood on the deck, each wearing a different expression.
Situ Yue's face was cold, murderous intent written all over it.
Shi Yue chatted with Yang Xiaoyao while Ximen Ren operated the Immortal Seeking Mirror, searching for Nangong Feng.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, last time so many of you fought Nangong Feng and the others. Could you tell me what happened?" Shi Yue asked casually.
Yang Xiaoyao didn't hold anything back and gave them a rough account of what had happened.
Situ Yue occasionally interjected, while Ximen Ren remained silent.
"Something doesn't add up, Fellow Daoist Yang! With your abilities, even if you couldn't kill Nangong Feng, surely killing Shi Lang, a newly ascended Mahayana cultivator, wouldn't have been a problem!" Shi Yue said, looking puzzled.
According to Yang Xiaoyao's account, that day Yang Xiaoyao, Ximen Yao, Situ Yue, and Gongsun Qian had fought Nangong Feng and Shi Lang. Nangong Feng had used Demonic Beasts to injure the three women, yet Yang Xiaoyao still hadn't been able to kill Shi Lang?
Yang Xiaoyao was a Mahayana Late Stage cultivator who had been famous for many years and commanded a Spirit Domain. Shi Lang had been a Mahayana cultivator for less than a thousand years. Even if Yang Xiaoyao couldn't kill him, he should at least have been able to severely wound him.
"Hmph. I could indeed have killed Shi Lang. But if I'd done that, I'm afraid Madam Ximen and Madam Situ would have lost their lives," Yang Xiaoyao replied with a cold snort.
"That's true." Situ Yue nodded.
Shi Yue was full of suspicion, but he didn't show it.
